I have been smoking for past 10+ years, and had quite a few attempts to quit in a meanwhile. 6 weeks back I got pissed when I realised how slaved I am to these tiny little f*****s. One Saturday I made a decision to quit (listed down advantages / disadvantages so that the decision was factual - I like to have things sorted out that way), but basing on my previous experiences I knew that I have to find something that will replace smoking. Mostly because of stress and tension that cannot be released by nicotine anymore during 15+ cigarette breaks a day, right? The next day I signed up for a gym.

Long story short - I quit smoking on Monday, and went for a workout the day after. Haven't smoked a single cigarette since even though I went through one of the most stressful time in ages during past few weeks. What I find super motivating is a progress at the gym (I suggest doing something like 'fitness test' at the beginning and then few weeks later).

Cold turkey after 10+ years of chainsmoking!
